The Forbidden Zone For Blacks In 2007
By Earl Ofari Hutchinson, BlackNews.com Columnist
There’s no physical sign, barrier, or even a chalk line that marks the zone where a black can’t enter at the risk of grave harm. But the zone is there, and blacks know that if they enter it they can be beat, shot at, or killed. The twist is that the forbidden zone is not in a redneck, backwoods, and Deep South town during the rigid and violent Jim Crow segregation era. The bigger twist is that the Klan, Neo-Nazis, racist skinheads, and bikers didn’t establish the racially restrictive zone. Purported Latino gang members established it. The forbidden zone is in a small, mixed ethnic bedroom community in Los Angeles. The year is 2007, not 1947.
A black family that recently fled the community in fear for their lives bluntly told a reporter that they left because blacks there are scared to death. In the past year, the hate terror escalated to the point where blacks tell tormenting tales of being harried when they leave their homes, or their children walk to school. They say that they are forbidden to go into a park, and a convenience store.
This is not a bad case of racial paranoia run amok. Blacks have been taunted, harassed, beaten and shot at in this community. But the tragic murder of a 14-year-old black girl and the wounding of two other young blacks in the forbidden zone sparked anguish, rage, and finally drew some local media attention. The murder drew gasps of disbelieve that in America in 2007 in a big, Northern cosmopolitan city, with a Latino mayor, and that routinely back pats itself for its ethnic diversity, there is an entire area that blacks are banned from on pain of injury or death at the hands of other non-whites. And city officials seem powerless to do anything about it.
Though two reputed Latino gang members are charged with the teen’s murder, and were slapped with a hate crime charge, the arrest and the hate charge didn’t calm the jitters and fears of blacks that live there. Even after the arrests, a number of blacks still said that they planned to get out of the area as soon as they could.
Latino on black (and black on Latino) violence is hardly an aberration in Los Angeles (and other places). According to police reports, there have been more than a dozen murder attempts in other parts of Los Angeles by alleged Latino gang members on mostly young blacks that have no known gang involvement in the latter part of 2006. A Los Angeles County Human Relations Commission report on hate violence in 2005 found that overall Latinos committed nearly half of the hate attacks in the County, while blacks committed thirty percent of the hate attacks. But when it’s Latino and black violence, the figure for hate violence soars. Latinos and blacks committed the bulk of the racially motivated hate attacks against each other.
The easy explanation for the hate terror is that the perpetrators are bored, restless, disaffected, jobless, untutored, violence prone gang members, and the violence is a twisted response to racism and deprivation. The attacks no doubt are deliberately designed by the gang hate purveyors to send the message to blacks that this is our turf, and you’re an interloper. But despite arrests, police crackdowns, gang injunctions, assorted anti-violence marches and rallies, and community peace efforts, the black and Latino low intensity battle has shown no sign of abating.
Then there’s the vehemence of the racial hate. The dirty, and painful secret is that blacks and Latinos can be racist, maybe even more racist than whites, toward each other. It’s easy to see why. Many Latinos fail to understand the complexity and severity of the black experience. They frequently bash blacks for their poverty or type them as clowns, buffoons and crooks. Some routinely repeat the same vicious anti-black epithets as racist whites. The color complex reinforces the notion that blacks are a racial and competitive threat, and any distancing, ostracism, avoidance, and even violence is a rational response to keep blacks at arms length.
On the other side, some blacks feed the same myths and racial stereotypes, and bash Latinos as anti-black, and violence prone, gangsters that are a menace, as well as ethnic and economic competitors. The warped misconceptions and fears have so far trumped the loud calls and efforts by black and Latino activists and many residents for unity and peace.
The murder of a black teen, and the gradual dawning that racially motivated hate attacks are happening right under the noses of a slumbering, maybe indifferent public, and impotent city officials, in a modern-day city like Los Angeles, did touch a mild nerve of disgust and ignite faint demands for action. But that’s not nearly enough to erase the shame that in America in 2007 there is a zone in a big city that blacks can only enter at mortal peril. And that zone isn’t marked by a burning cross or guarded by men in menacing white sheets and hoods.

Jackie,
No, he is referring to ANOTHER more recent shooting that happened in a different area of LA, Harbor Gateway.

The fact that blacks and hispanics can be just as racist as whites is not a new notion to me.
I'm sure calling Hispanics "Fuckin Hispanic doo-doo eating, pork fat smelling bastards", is really the solution.
When I think about the article, seriously, TOLERANCE, comes to mind, that a eye for and eye makes the whole world blind. This seems like a ongoing battle, a endless cycle of hatred and stupidity. The only end I see is if someone decides to end it.
And on LOLAs comment on how the article was poorly written, since she did not get clearly understand of why Tonya posted it in the first place, is profoundly better than the PURE SHIT she puts forth on this board. |

"The fact that blacks and hispanics can be just as racist as whites is not a new notion to me."
Good point. I've heard about the brewing undercurrent of racial violence in LA between blacks and Hispanics. And from other reports that I have read, the confrontations and unexpected interactions can be extremely violent -often lethal. In fact, I did read an article that documented some Mexican thugs who specifically targeted black people. They would walk up to a black man they never saw, shoot him in the head and walk away. This particular gang had murdered a number of blacks who never saw them coming. It was a very disturbing article. It's going to take a serious effort on both sides to address this potentially explosive issue.

There really is nothing to discuss with them. They want blacks out of LA, out of California, and eventually out of this country. Fuck discussing aything with them. |

Fastforward 60 years later....Southern California has been designated a 'nocturnal no safe zone' for African Americans. Astonishingly, blacks have agreed not to venture into the south side of the state except in daylight hours when they will be allowed entrance to aquire goods.

Keep in mind the Latinos in California are predominately Mexicans. What was it their President had to say in defense of Mexicans entering the US illegally - the US should be glad about this because Mexicans are willing to work jobs that even Blacks won't do - or words to that effect.
In the US, there is actually something lower than being Black - being a wetback.
So this is where the hostility comes in between Blacks and Mexicans. The wetbacks are out to prove that they're better than the niggers. |

This is true, Enchanted, because they know they can take advantage of them moreso than they can of Blacks. Not because they think highly of them. |

They think more highly of non-black blood than they do of negro blood and if a person is black from Africa then that blood they respect more than an AAs blood. A Mexican can be made white with one baby you know but it will take Tiger Woods father two generations to make full white baby. Think about that.

Wouldn't that depend on the individual Mexican's and the individual mixed Black's percentage of European admixture?
It is quite possible for the mixed Black to be genetically "Whiter" than the Mexican. Why do you think there are so many Blacks who have so much mixed heritage that they take on the look of a typical Latino? |

A while ago, Black and Hispanic leaders tried to form coalitions to present a united front against whites but this strategy never really worked, because the rank of file of Latinos harbor a clannishness reinforced by their commonality of language, culture, and appearence and they never related to black people, actually thinking blacks were beneathe them. The gang element is very pervasive in their lifestyle here in Chicago and even the most notorious of black gangs here keep their distance from their Hispanic counterparts. I once had some Mexican neighbors and they were polite but kept to themselves and as more blacks moved into the neighborhood, they moved out. |

Urban it dont matter how white a Mixed black is. Do you remember Hollywood had Mexican women starring in the movies back in the time Lena Horne could not be in movies and she was WHITER than they was! I see whitest black women still called a nigger and white will marry dark Mexican before the whitest black woman. Am I lying Cynique? |

Lupe Valdez made fifty movies and there were others Rita Hayworth is Mexican. Lena Horne was promised all kind of roles and they took dark makeup and put on Ava Gardner to play a black Mixed woman! That how WHITE Lena Horne was with no makeup she could pass for white and they put Mexicans in front of her! They go by the blood my sister.

Damn, Lo...why she gotta look like a toad?
Anyhoo, I agree with whoever said whites would much rather deal with mexicans than blacks BUT they do NOT want them over here.
Mexicans got they damn nerves. They come over here illegally and just because they work those shit jobs think that gives them the right to stay and get government benefits? fuck outta here with that. Um, they have a huge country just south of the border. Instead of trying to come HERE, why not try bettering that Country? Work like a dog THERE and make it great. |

Hutchinson is really turning into a pussy.
He recently did a column where he jumped down on the Duke University accuser.
Then again maybe they caught him with a 14 year old white girl and now he has to change his tune or else. |

There's a critically acclaimed off-Broadway play called "Platanos and Collard Greens" that explores the historic relationship between Blacks and Latinos. It's on tour (hitting various colleges and universities throughout the US). Tickets are very reasonable, and if you guys get a chance to check it out - do so. It is a fascinatingly profound production. |
